Parking Update: West 12th Road


WEST 12th Road

Earlier this week the "Street Closed Due to Construction" signage was removed from the entrance to West 12th Road.  Additionally, the previous signage parking restriction signage prohibiting any parking on the north side of the street between the hours of 7 am and 6pm, Monday through Friday, have also been removed.

The "No parking Anytime" signage for the south side of the street remains in effect to ensure the emergency access lane for emergency and other vehicles remains unencumbered.

During that period of time that West 12th Closed was officially "closed" many residents started to angle park their personal vehicles on the north side of the street during the overnight and weekend hours in order to accommodate the maximum number of parking spaces possible. 

We have explored several avenues of approach in order to authorize a continuance of the practice of angle parking on the block to no avail. As such, all West 12th residents should be aware that since the street is no longer officially closed, continued angle parking of personal vehicles may result in Parking Enforcement staff visiting W12th Road and issuing violations to such cars as angle parking, unless specifically authorized by DOT signage, is illegal.  

Consequently, I would recommend all residents immediately return to the previous practice of parallel parking their cars in order to avoid possible and costly violations.

DOT has been requested to expand the number of designated displaced parking area on both sides of the Cross Bay Boulevard median and we are expecting a decision from that agency in the near future.
